Clayton Oliver incident

Kind of ironic that the photo has the word "weak" and a photo of Gibbs and his lovely hairdo...

Also has the long sleeves on, the ponytail and defensive body language trying to back away from Clarry... yep good choice for the photo :P

Clarry is a champ and doesn't take sh*t from anyone. If these things were causing him to lose focus and effecting his football it would be different, but they're not. He was close to BOG yesterday.

It's easy to forget that Clarry is still only a 19 (20?) year old kid. The guy called him a weak [censored]. As a young fella trying to play the game it's a bit hard not to take it to heart. I bet that fat moron feels tough picking on a young kid from the sidelines.

I think the club will do the right thing to do all they can to protect Clarry from the media clowns and move on from the non-issue.

 

Did something happen ?

Yeah mate. Some fat ugly deranged moronic Blues supporter abused and threatened Clayton Oliver over the fence and Clayton said something back to him. Now Oliver is being made to look like the villain again, not the f*ckwit who abused a 19 year old from the safety of the stands.

Hope the club defend him and then move on. Let his football continue to do the talking. He's been phenomenal this year. This might be the best 2nd year from a player since Chris Judd! That should be he headline right there!

I know...you missed the sarcasm me thinks :rolleyes:

 

Been waiting a long time for the day we were feared and hated rather than scorned and pitied.

 

Carry on, Clarry

 

how is this even an issue? a bit of back chat to a idiotic fan. the club will teach the kid not to bother and we move on

The media really have a hard-on for us at the moment and these "discipline issues" at the club. love how Goody is sticking up for Clayton and the club. 

how about writing an article on the win and what it means FFS! very likely we play finals because of yesterday

it doesn't fit this fortnights narrative... 

Ha Ha. The last time this happened at the G, it was the Freo game in the last minute of game and a melbourne cheer squad member (allegedly) called the goal umpire a silly old duffa. what do you know, security in all their pomp were down in a flash like the cavalry pin-pointing the alleged name caller. players are entitled to protection from abusive commentary as well as officialdom, even if they are wearing the red and blue. 

I dont watch any of the footy shows as AFL personalities are unbearable at the best of time, but Im sure they will be talking about this non-story all week.

 

I have worried about Oliver's propensity to get baited from others since he was drafted, since his hilarious Facebook commenting on a post mentioning him. He has continued doing it, which is unusual among professional players. He's not bad at it, but I was worried, since my own experience with such players is that they can be easily manipulated into performing poorly and stupidly. 

However, his form has been very consistent, regardless of what he is or isn't doing and regardless of what the opposition do to him. As such, I'm far less worried. When he plays he apparently just lives in the moment and plays footy. 

The weekly wrap from Titus:

It was another week of controversy for the Dees, with Clayton Oliver getting into a verbal spat with a Carlton fan. Apparently, Oliver threatened the fan but let’s keep it in perspective; it’s not like he threw an imaginary spear at him.

Plus, no matter the circumstances, you’re always going to side with the bloke arguing with a Blues fan.

Just another comment from just another peanut who doesn't know what happened, Dazz. Doesn't matter if he shares a surname or parents with a player on our list, he's as clueless as the rest. Don't stress.

Nasher, did you read the last line?

I love the fact Clarry is pissing so many people off (whilst maintaining elite performances weekly)

Keep it coming, Clarry!

Supposedly as per twitter.

 

From the SEN article:

Former St Kilda and North Melbourne on baller Nick Dal Santo advised Oliver to ignore the abuse in the future.

“Unless its racist, just cop your right whack and move on, there is nothing you can do about it and there is nothing positive that can come from it, what he (Oliver) could possibly do that will make that situation any better.”

yeah-nah..

What "right whack" is Dal referring to?

Last year we got a "thumbs up" from Jarrad Waite when he kicked a goal after my wife yelled out something rather unbecoming (and unexpected since she's not normally in to footy at all) at Bellerive. Players interact with hecklers in the crowd all the time, and absolutely nothing gets said - sometimes it's all part of the fun. 

Something just then on SEN about the Afl investigating the incident?...Its surely not the first time a player has said something back over the fence is it?? ....I think even earlier this year some Demon players I think all 3 said something back over the fence at the end of a game didnt they?? Such a non incident.....FMD.

Like anything, there's always different levels of outcome. I think we need to remember that and just comparing to racist vs everything else is narrow-minded.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
